Description

After chasing the storm to the top of the Praying Monk and getting the Big bang Lightning halo... I readjusted and got this image. The Praying Monk is a rock formation on the side of the famous Camelback mountain that sits in between Phoenix and Scottsdale Arizona. From the first time I saw this I was always fascinated with it and thought It would make a great spiritual shot with lightning striking making the Monk come alive. This is a shot I worked on for three years. This is the real deal. I can not tell you how many times I went to my spot on the top side of this mountain and got nothing. This night was one of my most scariest nights chasing lightning. Nothing like being on the top of a huge rock with a tripod trying to get a shot. This storm circled the mountains and swung around the back side and came back around to me. This was a very exciting night of chasing lightning. Two texture layers added fine art poster print..
